Millersville Council Appoints Angela Cuthbert to Personnel and Public Works Committees

Millersville Borough Council convened on August 12, 2025, where discussions highlighted community pride and ongoing municipal responsibilities. A standout moment came when a resident praised Mike Coughall for his initiative in maintaining the borough's fire hydrants, which have been freshly painted and are now a vibrant red. This effort was contrasted with criticism of the borough's trash receptacles, described as "hideous," underscoring the community's desire for aesthetic improvements.

In council business, Angela Cuthbert was appointed to fill vacancies left by former council member Darlene Ager, taking on roles in the public works and personnel committees, as well as the position of assistant secretary. The council unanimously approved her appointments, reflecting a smooth transition in leadership.

Financial matters were also a key focus, with the council accepting the July financial report and discussing the borough's minimum municipal obligations (MMO) for pension plans. The MMO for the police pension was set at $609,787, while the non-uniform pension obligation was $155,920. These figures are crucial for ensuring the sustainability of the borough's pension plans, with the council confirming that no additional actions were required beyond accepting these obligations.

Public works issues were addressed, particularly concerning a property on Manor Avenue that has drawn numerous complaints. The council confirmed that citations have been issued as part of the code enforcement process, with further actions pending based on the property owner's response.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to community engagement, financial responsibility, and maintaining the borough's standards. As the council moves forward, residents can expect continued efforts to enhance Millersville's appearance and address local concerns.
